4 PEcULIlR KIND OF ENyY.

"D,d you know that there is sort of
bon ton aristocracy among the men who
wear artificial legs and arms?" said gen.
tleman last night at the Kimball.
"No, what do you meanp"
"Why, this: There is among men pos
sessed of oil their limbs a kind of envy as
to the kind of clothes they wear, that is,
with those who lay great store by such
things. One fellow sees another we'll
dressed, and the fact of his better OPP
pearance excites keen sort of desire to
be like him. That sort of thing is much
more general than people are willing to nd
mil. Well, that sort of envy, or what
ever you are pleased to call it, is as moth
ing compared to the feeling that exists in
one-legged mans mind when he beholds
another one-legged fellow with better
artificial limb than he has. have known
men with one arm grow 10 be positively
consumed with envy at the sight of one
whose artificial arm was SO perfect as to
almost defy detection. These sort of peo-
pie have finer sensibilities than the other
kind of men, and feel more deeply and
keenly the difference between their condi-
ton and that of some ono else more for
tunate than they.-Atlanta Constitution.

HOJV THEY PLANTPElRLS.

Owners of grounds at the Pearl islands,
in this bay, and which islands have been
unproductive since the pearl-yielding oys-
ters died off, might take hint from the
Chinese. who practice oyster culture to a
considerable extent, and whose bamboo
oyster fields are prepared far more carefully
than field for the growth of sugar. cane.
Holes are bored in the old oyster shells
and these are stuck on pieces of split bam-
boo about two feet in length, which are
then planted quite close together on mud
flats, between high and low water mark,
but subject to strong tidal currents. These
are supposed to bring the oyster spat,
which ndheres to the old shells, and
shortly develops into tiny oysters. Then
the bamboos are transplanted and set some
inches apart, until within six months of the
first planting they are found TO be covered
with well-grown oysters, which are then
collected for the market. et.-Panuma Sta,

4 PAR1sL4N WEDD1NG CUSTOM

Partisan brides and bridemaids do not
take with them to church the lovely lunch
of white flowers which tradition requires
the bridegroom aud his bost men to sup
ply; but it is inherent on tue former to
heap lovely blossoms in the brougham
that shall convey him and his newly made
wife back TO the house of her parents uf-
ter the ceremony. This is q very pretty
fashion and deserves to be kept up. Much
more beautiful than the circular and form
ally arranged bouquets that used 10 be
presented by the gentleman anxious to get
into the good graces of his lady are the
rustic baskets of reeds filled with growing
flowers decorated with bows of ribbon
carefully chosen us to color. Long after
the poor roses or what not, subjected to
the process of wiring, have faded and
gone, the plants fourish-a pleasant feast
for the eyes and charming decoration for

book might well be written on this
subject, if it included the care of fuel,
drafts and chimneys. 1t is impossible to
calculate the amount of unnecessary work
done every day by workers who are acting
in opposit on to the simplest laws of phys
les. The care we refer to is simply ex-
ternal care. A bright, well-blackened
stove is n just source of pride to any cook.
This blackening should not bs frequently
repeated, however, as if one coat of black
ing is placed over another it soon begins
to scale off in fine powder. 1t is best to
see that the cook stove is free or nearly
free from old blacking before any new coat
is put on. Parts of the stove which have
become dull may often be dampened and
polished bright with brush without; put
ting on any more blacking. A stove may
be polished with brush every morning
before the fire is kindled, but coat of
backing should not be applied oftener
thnn once a month. If the backing is
mixed up with a little cold coffee it will last
longer. All good ranges are now made
with polished edges and these edges should
never be blacked, but secured with brick
dust and soap and wiped dry. All nickel
work about tue stove must be polished
with chamois skin and whitening. The
cook should be kept furnished with stove
cloths, SO that any grease may be quickly
wiped off the stove before it burns in.
Anything spilled accidentally over the
stove should be cleaned off at once, but if
this has not been done obstinate spots may
be removed by a teaspoonful of kerosene
poured on cloth and rubbed rapidly over
the spot.

The Shooting of stonewan jackson.

Ahe SnOOtlnS OF Stonc"at1 u dcKSOn.
After night fell, Stonewall Jackson
rode out with his staff to reconnoiter in
front of the line he had gained. 1t
was his idea to stretch completely
around in the rear of Hooker and cut
him off from the river.
The night was dark and Jackson soon
came rpon the Union lines. Their in
fantry drove him back, and as he re.
turned in the darkness, his own soldiers
began firing at their commander, of
course mistaking his party for the
enemy. jackson was shot in the hand
and wrist, and in the upper arm at the
same time His horse turned, and the
General lost his hold Of the bridle-rein;
his cap was brushed from his head by
the branches; he reeled, and was
caught in the arms of an officer. After
moment he was assisted to dismount,
his wound was examined, and litter
was brought. just then the Union
artillery opened again, and q
murderous fire came down upon
the party through the woods and
the darkness. One of the litter
bearers stumbled and fell, and the
others were frightened; they laid their
litter on the ground, the furious storm
of shot and she'll sweeping over them
like hail. Jackson attempted to rise,
but his aid-de-camp held him down till
the tempest of fire was lulled. Then
the wounded General was helped to
rise, and walked q few steps in the
I forest, but he became faint, and was
laid again in his litter. Once he rolled
to the ground, when an assistant was
shot. and the litter fell Just then
General Pender, one of his subor-
dinates, passed; he stopped and said:
II hope you are not seriously hurt,
General. / fear shall have to retire
my troops, they are SO much broken :"
But jackson looked up at once and
exclaimed:
"You must hold your ground, Gen
eral Fender; you must hold your
ground, sir!"
This was the last order he ever gave.
He was borne some distance to the
nearest house, and examined by the
surgeon, and after midnight his left arm
was amputated at the shoulder.
When Lee was told that his most
trusted lieutenant had been wounded,
he was greatly distressed, for the rela-
tions between them were almost ten
der.
jackson has lost his left arm, said
Lee, "but have lost my right arm. =

pressed in his own way.

General Grant on the Terms at
Vicksburg.

In the Century is printed for the
first time letter by General Grant on
the above topic, from which the follow
ing is an extract: General Pember-
ton, being Northern man command
ing Southern army, was not at the
same liberty to surrender an army that
man of Southern birth would be. In
adversely OF defeat he became an OBJ
ject of suspicion, and felt it. Bowen
was Southern man all over, and knew
the garrison at Vicksburg had to snr-
render or be captured, and knew it was
best to stop further eifusion of blood
by surrendering. He did all he could
to bring about that result.
Pemberton is mistaken in several
points. 1t was Bowen that proposed
that he and A. j. Smith should talk
over the matter of the surrender and
submit their views. Neither Pember-
ton nor | objected; but we were not
willing to commit ourselves to accept
ing such terms as they might propose.
In short time those officers returned.
Bowen acted as spokesman. What he
said was substantially this: The Con
federate army was to be permitted to
march out with the honors OF war,
carrying with them their arms
colors, and field batteries. The
national troops were then to
march in and occupy the city, and re-
tain the siege guns, small arms not in
the hands of the men, all public prop
erty remaining. OF course l rejected
the terms at once. I did agree, how
ever, before we separated, to write
Pemberton what terms 1 would give.
The correspondence is public and
speaks for itself. held no council of
war. Hostilities having ceased, officers
and men soon became &C cluainted with
the reason why. Curiosity led officers
of rank-most all the general officers
tc visit my headquarters with the hope
of getting some news. / talked with
them very freely about the meeting be-
tween General Pemberton and myself,
our correspondence, etc But in no
sense was it council of war. I was
very glad to give the garrison of Vicks-
burg the terms did. There was a
cartel in existence at that time which
required either party to exchange or
parole oil prisoners either at Vicksburg
or at a point on the James River within
ten days after captures. OF as soon
thereafter as practicable. This would
have used all the transportation we had
for month. The men had behaved so
well that did not want to humiliatc
them. l believed that consideration
for their feelings would make them less
dangerous foes during the continuance
of hostilities, and better citizens after
the war was over. q. S. GRANT.
